Hello there
Have new update to report. The Trail Truck is not well finished yet. Temporary set to the back engine.

I'm glad to see this monster project continues. These trailing truck parts are superbly crafted.

Incredible work Kooklik !

It looks like the parts are laser cut?
How do you get parts laser cut ?

Kooklik you are the king.

Why not start offering the tender and the engine without the cab and boiler now ?
By the time we are finished building that part of the monster, you may be ready for some of the rest ?? All laser of course.

Hello Rixtoys
I sent vector files to have a laser shop in Bangkok cut it.

Hello bielingg
The tender has not been colored yet. There is still many things to do before launching.

Thanks Kooklik. The Big Boy build is just so much fun to follow !!

I, too, am ready to pony up the US dollars to buy your kit, Kooklik. I've got your Type VIIC. Your work is beyond compare. Even Uhu02 cannot compete with you.

Hi Kooklik,

This is one of the longest term projects on this site. I'm impressed with amount of self discipline required and your persistence on this project. Congratulations are in order!

It appears that laser cutting is slowly catching on and may become a de facto standard of a new generation of ready-to-assemble (RTA) models.

Best regards, +Gil
